RawTherapee 4.2.346 Description

RawTherapee 4.2.346 is a Windows app that enables users to work with RAW pictures from digital cameras and make various image adjustments. It also features support for JPEG, BMP, TIFF and PNG, among other popular file types.
Quick setup and user-friendly GUI
Installing the tool takes little time and minimal effort. As for the interface, RawTherapee 4.2.346 adopts an attractive and intuitive structure. Thanks to the Explorer-based layout, you can easily locate and select photographs for processing. Working with multiple items at the same time is possible.
Tweak settings and apply effects
So, users can modify pictures when it comes to the sharpening level (e.g. set method, radius and amount), edges (e.g. iterations, quantity), microcontrast, impulse noise reduction, noise reduction, defringe and contrast by detail levels.

RawTherapee 4.2.346 also makes room for basic editing tools like cropping, resizing and rotating, in addition to toggling fullscreen mode, enabling metadata filters, as well as configuring fast export options (e.g. bypass edge sharpening and noise reduction).
Configure app options
As far as program settings are concerned, users may change the interface theme and language, switch to a different date format, set the path to the external app (GIMP, Photoshop or other graphic editor) and configure sounds, among others.
Performance and conclusion
The image processing tool uses a moderate amount of CPU and system memory and has a good response time. We have not come across any problems throughout our testing; Raw Therapee did not freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs. Unfortunately, there is no help file available, so users must rely on previous experience in graphic editing software in order to work with this tool.
